AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

The previous Radeon flagship. Rasterisation performance is still high-end and 24 GB is the largest memory pool outside the RTX 5090, but ray tracing and upscaling are a generation behind RDNA 4.

Where to buy

$999MSRP

Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.

This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.

No retailer links are configured for this card yet. CompareYourGPU does not publish purchase links it cannot stand behind, so nothing is shown here rather than a button that goes nowhere.

Should you buy it?

Niche recommendation

This card is out of production. New stock is scarce and priced unpredictably, so it only makes sense at a genuine discount against a current-generation equivalent.

Best for

4K gaming at 60+ FPS

Why

  • Estimated performance index of 64 at 4K, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
  • 24 GB of memory is comfortable for 4K, so texture settings stay out of the conversation.
  • Supports FSR 3.1 Frame Generation and AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level).
  • At 4K the RX 7900 XTX is 6.7% faster than the RTX 5070 Ti while costing $250 more, so you are paying for the extra speed rather than getting it for free. Based on launch MSRP.

Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.

Watch out for

This card is out of production, so new stock is scarce and pricing is unpredictable. It is only worth considering at a genuine discount.

Consider instead
  • RTX 5080 if ray tracing is your priority. Its ray tracing index is 72 against 47, at $999.
  • RTX 5070 Ti if you want more performance for the money. It returns 8.0 index points per $100 against 6.4.

CompareYourGPU estimate

Performance indices are aggregated from public review coverage, not measured by CompareYourGPU. Frame-rate ranges are modelled from those indices. How this is calculated.

How the RX 7900 XTX compares at 1440p against the cards closest to it.

CompareYourGPU estimate. 100 = the fastest card tracked.

Ray tracing performance at 1440p, RX 7900 XTX against the same peer group.

CompareYourGPU estimate. Ray-traced performance does not track rasterisation performance, which is why it is charted separately.

How this was measured, and what it is not

Geometric mean of average FPS. Vendor upscaling at Quality (DLSS on GeForce, FSR on Radeon, XeSS on Arc), with native TAA in a minority of titles. Not native resolution, and not a like-for-like image-quality comparison across vendors.

The ray tracing rating covers a smaller 7-game suite than the 21-game rasteriser rating, so the two are not directly comparable with each other either. ComputerBase does not test every card at every resolution; a card missing from a table has no figure here rather than an inferred one.

Because of that, these figures are not directly comparable with the estimated index above, which describes native resolution with no upscaling. Read each on its own terms rather than against the other.

Per-game measured results

No verified benchmark data yet

CompareYourGPU only publishes frame-rate figures it can attribute to a named, linkable measurement, and none have been transcribed for the RX 7900 XTX yet. The estimated performance indices above are clearly labelled as estimates and are the honest alternative until measured runs are recorded here.

Read how benchmark data is handled.

In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features

What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.

Supported. This card uses 2nd-generation ray accelerators.

FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.

FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level). Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.

Hardware AV1 encode is supported. Dual media engines with AV1, HEVC and H.264 encode. AV1, HEVC and H.264 decode.

Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits

CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.

Strengths

  • 24 GB of VRAM and 960 GB/s of bandwidth
  • Rasterisation performance close to current high-end cards
  • Reference board is only two slots

Weaknesses

  • Ray tracing is well behind current NVIDIA and RDNA 4 cards
  • No FSR 4 support
  • 355 W and out of production

Best for

  • 4K rasterised gaming
  • Workloads that benefit from a very large memory pool

Not ideal for

  • Ray-traced and path-traced titles
  • Efficiency-focused builds

Price, value and efficiency

What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.

$999MSRP

Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.

Good priceFair price for this performance: $1,150

Good buy below $1,058 · expensive above $1,288

The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.

Performance per dollar

6.9

Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.

That places it in the upper half of the database on value.

Performance per watt

19.4

Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.

That places it in the upper half of the database on efficiency.

RX 7900 XTX frequently asked questions

Is the RX 7900 XTX good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 180-260 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 165+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 24 GB gives real headroom at 1080p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RX 7900 XTX good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 125-180 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 144+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 24 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RX 7900 XTX good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 65-95 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 60+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 24 GB gives real headroom at 4K, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
How much VRAM does the RX 7900 XTX have?
The RX 7900 XTX has 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, giving 960 GB/s of bandwidth. 24 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
What power supply does the RX 7900 XTX need?
AMD recommends a 800 W power supply for a complete system built around the RX 7900 XTX, which draws 355 W of board power. It uses 2x 8-pin.
Which upscaling technologies does the RX 7900 XTX support?
It supports FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports FSR 3.1 Frame Generation and AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level). Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
Is the RX 7900 XTX good for ray tracing?
Its ray tracing index is 47 at 1440p, against a rasterisation index of 69, so it retains about 68% of its standing once ray tracing is enabled. That is a weak result: ray tracing costs it noticeably more than the average card here. Both figures are CompareYourGPU estimates, not measurements.
How much does the RX 7900 XTX cost?
It launched at $999 MSRP and is now out of production. CompareYourGPU does not publish a current street price because it does not yet carry a verified price feed, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RX 7900 XTX?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RTX 4080 SUPER at $999. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RX 7900 XTX is about 1% ahead, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
